Don’t mind me. Just here for an hour to do some #BirdOfTheDay peeking. Hope everyone has been behaving 😁 #photography #EastCoastKin
A shaggy Irish sheep stands in a snowy field, facing the camera with strands of green grass hanging from its mouth. Its thick, cream-coloured wool hangs in long, textured locks, and its face is marked with dark patches around the nose and eyes. In the foreground, a moss-covered branch stretches across the snow, while soft winter light illuminates the sheep against a blurred background of muted trees.

Grey Heron and Canada Goose / Graureiher und Kanadagans (Biblis, Germany)

#birds #herons #geese #vögel
The photo shows a grey heron, standing in a meadow. Next to it the black and white head of a canada goose is visible. The bird is standing in a ditch that is not visible on the photo, so it looks like the bird is burried up to the neck

Here’s the #oddcouples for today’s #birdoftheday. Both are a great match! #eastcoastkin
A Canada goose with a smaller female bufflehead —- both have very similar markings which is kind of comical!

A female northern cardinal and an eastern towhee perch on a tube bird feeder filled with seeds and nuts. The cardinal sits on the front, slightly higher perch, while the towhee occupies the lower one behind it. Blurred greenery fills the background. A Carolina chickadee and a red-bellied woodpecker are on the opposites of a seed-filled tube feeder with blurred out green vegetation behind them. A Carolina wren and a female northern cardinal perch on the lower metal ring of a snow-covered bird bath. Behind them, snow blankets the deck railing and softens the tree branches into a blurred winter backdrop.

An Oystercatcher is in diving flight, beak open, wings down and tail flared. It is about to land on a Coot who is minding its own business on a grassy bank.
